He was on a Marquette lovefest yesterday on his twitter account.
True story: Marquette took that final shift for Team USA.
Marquette thinks USA-Canada feels like "just another regular-season game." #whatsthebigdeal #mubb
Pretty sweet someone has taken notice to how well we have been playing as of late...

Oh he has been tracking Marquette for a while, affectionately nicknaming them TBW or Team Bubble Watch. He called MU making the tournament when they were 2-5.

And that MU would finish 11-7, so he's looking pretty good right now.

Hopefully he is wrong - 12-6 would be much better!

Which is ironic because in his days at ESPN, he always found the time to put Marquette down.

I was going to say something similar. I wouldn't say he was anti-Marquette when at ESPN but he definitely didn't hand out much praise, either.

So, I'm marrying into a New England family, and the more I speak with them and am around them, the more I learn that New Englanders are, quite simply, completely and utterly irrational about New England teams no matter the sport or situation. That tWWL is located in Connecticut, I think, plays a pretty big role in their coverage. It's only hearsay, but I have read that a lot of the folks that work there are New Englanders beyond just working there.
Also, while I love most Charles Pierce's writing both for its style and substance, his constant ballwashing of Tawmy Brady is just sick.
